Josua ben David' real dad is not known to to common history. Mary's family must have inherited the wealth of her ancesters. Rabbi's, at that time, covered all costs associated with their "seconds." I'd leave my fishnets for a life of travel and teaching too.
Seems like the Romans did get the trade routes and proceeds that went to the Temple after all.

I know this is indelicate,I just want opinion on the historical figure not the religious icon of the Bible. One point is the actual wealth of the family. Tax records indicate Herod paid the equiv. of $1/4 mil just for the olives in the Garden. Must have had workers farm it. The family owned it.

*** Was Jesus the first "terrorist" for Christianity, or merely a pawn for change? **
Luke makes Jesus say stuff that a terrorist would say.
The Bible Luke 19: 26 - 28
"He replied, 'I tell you that to everyone who has, more will be given, but as for the one who has nothing, even what he has will be taken away.But those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them--bring them here and kill them in front of me." After Jesus had said this, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.
Listen to Jesus admit subservience.
The Bible John 8: 28
So Jesus said, "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am the one I claim to be and that I do nothing on my own but speak just what the Father has taught me.
Mark makes it appears that Jesus was a Pawn.
The Bible Mark 15: 34
And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice,
"Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?"— which means,
"My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"
Have a pleasant day.

Yes, I could say Jesus was a terrorist for Christianity. I would say John the Baptist was the first though. John came stirring up the world announcing the coming of the savior and fulfillment of prophecy. Jesus came and announced his is God and here to give His life for all.
They actually crucified him for saying He came here to die for all sinners. . . a little irony for those logic professors.

He was the pawn for change. A volunteer one. But now sits at the right hand of God.

Instead of studying anti-Christian web-sights, you might want to read what he actually taught and how he actually lived.
It is in the New Testament.
Good Luck!

Really weird question. Guess you don't know Jesus. There can be dirt brought up on each one of us. I can't guess why you would even ask that question.

Jesus was/is the first and only Savior for all who believe.
